The Guildmasters

I was asked recently what is the benefit of playing the White Knight Chronicles New Game+.

There are a lot of benefits by playing new game+ but first let me explain what that is exactly. When you complete the game for the first time you then have the option of starting the new game+, this kind of saves everything you already did in the first game but allows you to start over with a new game but with many extra items.

First of all playing the new game+ opens up new treasure chests, the one that springs to mind is the extra chests in Balandor in the cave. Also there are more items available in the shops and don’t forget to build up your georama because as you upgrade and get higher in Guild Rank you’ll get better and better items, then there is the online play but this is about the new game+

I personally played the new game+ a total of 5 times, it is a fairly quick game and I don’t think I needed to play it so many times but I was getting the feel of how everything works and making the most of item drops etc..

Wiki has a more in depth list of things available to you once you start new game+ and here is the link so you can check it out.

Hope this helps and answers your question.

Yes I had a pretty good day yesterday, I not only reached Guild Rank 14 but also managed to get my bloody armor set (or at least most of it) apart from the boots and even managed to upgrade some of it.

I also got another trophy, this one was for binding 200 items so have got a way to go yet before I get the 450 bind item trophy. I also need the 10 million guilder trophy which is also very hard because as soon as you get a few hundred thousand you seem to need to spend it on something or other.

Another good bonus was the introduction of 4 more new quests which also gave a new set of armor, which now means in order to get this new set (which is pretty cool) you have to run the new quests a fair few times.

I still keep dropping back to low guild rank quests to help the newer players out and also give incentive by showing the gear and damage you can do once you get higher in rank. Most enjoy the help and are grateful and i’ve made some decent friends and also met some really good players in the higher ranks.

Making Guild Rank 14 I also managed to upgrade my town again (another 600k) but I was disappointed to find out there were no level 9 workers, only level 8 and level 10, not sure why they didn’t put any level 9 workers in the game which kind of makes level 9 town extremely expensive seeing as all it gives you is another section of land big enough for maybe one or two more houses.

Guild Rank 15 looks good with probably more armor options but also a level 10 town means I can get level 10 workers so won’t need so many and will be able to specialize in more fields.

With almost 1000hrs put into the game I can’t believe it is still so playable, what a great game and excellent value for money, the rare drops are a little too rare for my liking but it still makes you want to get them.

Station Attendant 2 is getting a little unpredictable as I was playing yesterday pyro rex dealt me a whopping 1000+ damage, never seen that one before, after that it was like he targeted me throughout and I died about 6 times during that quest and I have to thank the players with me for their patience, always someone would stop and raise me and I appreciate that, felt like a newbie actually but most understand it is random and sometimes this kind of thing happens.

Will update more over the coming days, again if anyone wants help i”m willing to drop by and help out, alternatively you can visit my town and create a room and whenever i’m on I will run a few quests with you, and I don’t mind if your guild rank 1 or 15, i’ll help anyone.

Will also be available on PS3 and Wii. Lord Of The Rings Aragorns Quest for all you LOTR fans out there, here is the story:

Take up the sword and become the King of Men in this adventure that lets you live the Lord of the Rings trilogy through the eyes of Aragorn. Experience his greatest quests and most heroic deeds as you begin as Strider, Ranger of the North, and rise from the pages of legend to sit on the throne of Gondor. Wield his bow, sword, and spear as you battle the forces of Sauron on foot and on horseback. Fight alongside the Hobbits, Gandalf, and other characters from J.R.R. Tolkein’s fabled stories in a family-friendly journey through the world of Middle Earth.

I’ve seen the official trailer for this game and it’s not too shabby, lord of the rings fans will undoubtedly purchase this one. The graphics were quite impressive although I couldn’t tell if this was from the PS3 or PS2, it would be a game that I would personally rent as I’m not a huge fan of the LOTR games but I would play this one.

I’ve noticed on White Knight Chronicles this past week or so that they have started to add new sets of armor, this coincides with the new quests available as the stuff you need for the new armor is in the new quests which makes for fresher content. This really keeps the game fresh and the fact that the quests actually get harder makes for more fun.

I’m still about 3 million off Guild Rank 13 but should hit that in a few days as i’m back to messing around with my geo town. I’m stuck on about 5 different weapons and armor needing upgrades and no matter how often I do the quests the damn things won’t drop those rare items that I need so am looking at trying to get them in my shop, it’s not looking promising though.

With almost 1,000 hrs on this game it still keeps me interested, you’d think it would get boring but it doesn’t, it is one amazing game, I just hope I can complete it before WKC 2 gets here, lol

Tony 😉

Yes I haven’t been giving my blog the attention it deserves. This game is so addictive. I’m almost at Guild Rank 12 and I say almost because i’ve still got 3 million GR points to get, this sounds like a huge amount but it can be done in a day because i’m getting many more GR points per quest now.

The playability of this game is ridiculous, really. I’ve had this game well over 3 months and it just doesn’t get boring, you get to the next Guild Rank level and you just can’t wait to get to the one after that.

I love RPG’s as you know, I played Resident Evil 5 until I got burned out on it, i’ve played final fantasy games over and oblivion was a great RPG and although White Knight Chronicles isn’t as good as those games from a storyline point of view this game has been put together in such a way you just can’t leave it alone.

It’s only recently I realized how much work had gone into the making of this game. It’s definitely a MMORPG because without others you would find it quite impossible to complete many of the quests. They’ve also made it so you can’t just go for the best weapons in the game, you have to buy the cheaper weapons in order to bind them with other weapons or materials to make better weapons.

There is always something you need to get a better weapon or a better piece of armor and that one thing your missing is the one thing that is a 1% drop rate, then when you do get it you get loads of them, or you’ll find when you get what you want you’ll need a ton more to upgrade.

So yes even though there are reviews out there stating this game has only 20hrs playtime they are almost definitely referring to the story part. I would say up to this point I must have played well over 300 hrs and i’m only just going to hit Guild Rank 12 tomorrow. Guild Rank 13 is when I can upgrade my town again so that is miles away.

I’ve had a lot of late nights with this game, I certainly haven’t put these kind of hours into any other game i’ve ever played. Last night I got onto the map to start questing and two new quests opened up so the makers are keeping to their word about introducing more quests on a regular basis, this also helps to keep the game fresh, and it just so happens the two quests they put in was giving items I really needed which was cool.

I did enter a quest with a Guild Rank 15 member and I asked her if at Guild Rank 15 was she still having fun.
Her answer to me was “are you kidding? the fun has only just started”.
That’s all I needed to hear, i’m having a lot of fun now, even after 3 months of playing, imagine how much more fun it will be to own everything in the game, best weapons, best armor and i’ll probably get it all just as WKC 2 comes out, that will be awesome.

The only downside with this game is that I have neglected other really good games that I should have been playing and writing about. Having said that games like this only come by once in a while so enjoy them while you can is my motto and i’m really enjoying this one. I just can’t put my finger on what it is that keeps me on it so long, it’s a mixture of how everything is tied in, so well balanced and a great load of decent players who really team up and help each other out. Great stuff.

It seems we have a lot to choose from over the next couple of months, lots of new games coming in time for christmas so there should be a game for everyone.

Some of the games i’ll be reviewing over the next few days will be Brutal Legend ( release date oct 13th ), Borderlands ( release date oct 20th ), Assassins Creed 2 ( release date nov 17th ), Dragon Age: Origins ( release date nov 19th ), The Saboteur ( release date dec 8th ) and quite few more.

I’ll get you as much info on these new games which should give you an idea of what to start spending your christmas money on.

If you want me to give you some info or review a particular game just drop a post in here and i’ll see what I can do, you can pre-order most “coming soon” titles from amazon or check out my review on Gamefly and rent them first so you don’t waste money.
